I had a bad allergic reaction to the latex glove when I got a tattoo well over a year ago. Sometimes the tattoo swells up again and I can see the shape of his hand print in redness. Anyone else ever get **** like this? It has happened right now and my entire arm is burning and swollen.
Will antihistamines get rid of it?



Oh yeah and my other tattoos, randomly swell up too. They become all raised. Does that happen to everyone? Is it normal?

it's been awhile since i noticed, but my tattoos used to get that textured thing.

it's wild that you still get that reaction from the latex after a year.
i'm sure benadryl/antihistamines would help.
(certain foods can trigger latex like reactions.
have you been exposed to any latex?)

It's not uncommon for tattoos to get a little raised and itchy after they are healed, even months or years after. It happened to one of mine once but it wasn't a big deal and it went away.

That latex handprint thing is kind of wierd.... go to a doctor or dermatologist if it's really bothering you.

I told you wearing that dental dam over your fist would haunt you later

Hmm I can't afford a dermatologist so I guess I will just put up with it.
